Realistic descriptions of careers that successfully combine medical research and patient care should be given to students early in medical school. The students need to be told the various ways to prepare for such careers and should see a number of role models who exemplify these combined careers and who can convey the excitement, challenges, and satisfaction in these careers. Opportunities for research training in M.D.-Ph.D. programs, the medical student program offered jointly by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, and the NIH postresidency physician-scientist programs are discussed.
应该在医学院早期就向学生提供成功结合医学研究与患者护理的职业的真实描述。需要告知学生为这类职业做准备的各种方式，并且学生应该见到一些能够体现这些综合职业的榜样，这些榜样能够传达这些职业中的兴奋感、挑战和满足感。文中讨论了医学博士-哲学博士项目、美国国立卫生研究院（NIH）和霍华德·休斯医学研究所联合提供的医学生项目以及NIH住院医师后医师科学家项目中的研究培训机会。
